McLaren planning hybrid supercars
A rejuvenated McLaren Automotive is apparently planning to integrate hybrid technology on its future supercars.
According to Autocar, McLaren has a vacancy for a senior engineer in powertrain hybrid technology, and the role requires someone to “lead the technical assessment, integration and application of appropriate hybrid powertrain technology,” as seen in a job ad on McLaren’s website.
McLaren itself wouldn’t confirm whether or not they are planning on adding hybrid technology to its road cars.
McLaren has so far managed to keep secret the details about its upcoming P11 supercar, which is expected to launch at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show later this year.
